One of my top 10 most favorite bands of all times, genres & continents, this song might arguably not be from their best record (although they're all brilliant) but it holds a very special place in my heart. I just today dug this one out today from a dusty box and god damn if this doesn't bring back memories of times that cost me years of life expectancy... (a very wise investment though in retrospect). Love. love, love this song!
oohh.. and this one... RIP Larissa.
Texacala Jones...not ever another singer like her... my most favorite song by her would be a tie between these two:
A friend taped me the album and it took me years to get it, I still listen to it regularly,
I really love that album. Lanny Gordin is definitely one of my guitar heros. I just picked it up in Argentina for about $20. Have you seen the music video to that song?
We stayed at the Ace Hotel in Portland last weekend, and the lyrics for this song were written on the wall. You all know it, but it's a song I love- in most all versions- and it's been happily in my head all week.
I practically have these lyrics memorized, phonetically. Wish I knew what they meant! The unhinged guitar from Lanny Gordin just seals the deal.

Here's a free translation I did for a friend some time ago of Gal's song.
My English is very bad, so it may contain errors or some phrase may sound confusing.
If there's anything you can't understand let me know and I'll try to explain it to you.
Enjoy!
Me, you, we two
Already have a past my love
A stored guitar, that flower
And other little things too
Me, you, Joao
Spinning in the turntable without stopping
And the dissonant world that we two
Tried to invent
Tried to invent
Tried to invent
Tried
The happiness
The happiness
The happiness
The happiness
Me, you, later
(It's) Ash Wednesday in the country
And the dissonant notes (were) integrated
To the sound of the imbeciles
Yes, you, we two
Already have a past my love
The Bossa, the sadness, our big pain
Like two square persons
Wolf wolf fool
Wolf wolf fool
Wolf wolf fool
Wolf wolf fool
Me, you, Joao
Spinning in the turntable without stopping
And I feel touched by remembering
The time and the sound
Ah! it was so good
But, no more blues, the reality
Is that we learned with Joao
To be forever out of tune
To be out of tune
To be out of tune
To be
No more blues
No more blues
Influenced by the slow jams some folks have already posted, this one is my heartfelt go-to...
In terms of what I can't get enough of at this very moment, it's this thing, and it's completely blowing my shit to smithereens and forcing me to dance around like an android with a bad tick...

Obrigado Moogman.. I really should sit down and translate some of my favorite brazillian tunes. To practice my portugese.

Damn dude. You should have given me a heads up. Nate who owns the Clyde is a good friend. Did you grab a bite there?

A friend taped me the album and it took me years to get it, I still listen to it regularly,
Luis Alberto Spinetta right up there with Marcos Valle as one of my favorite musicians ever.
"Or any song from this record."
I really love that album. Lanny Gordin is definitely one of my guitar heros. I just picked it up in Argentina for about $20. Have you seen the music video to that song?

No, I hadn't - thanks!
